Amidst the craziness that is beginning to define this summer, I managed to dig out two quilts that I simply must send out for quilting. The one above I think I made ten years ago believe it or not. Yes, time to get that baby quilted. It is half square triangles set into stars and […]
This is just a quick post on a quilt I have been enjoying lately. It is called Short Line, and is a pattern by Miss Rosie's Quilt Co. It was made with fabrics from various American Jane (Sandy Klop) collections, designed for Moda. It is a gorgeous quilt and although I have had it for […]
Several years ago I mentored a young friend for a year. She was working on her senior project for high school and wanted to learn how to quilt. She was an apt and eager student, and during the course of year, she completed several baby quilts which were donated to women in need who had […]
I think one of the reasons I have been avoiding my sewing room is due to all the nearly finished projects that have been piling up over the past year. I don't know what finally got me up there, but I bit the bullet this weekend and attached the binding to 9 quilts. Yes 9. […]
I finally got myself in gear and sent these two little table toppers out for quilting. I shouldn't procrastinate-the sooner they are quilted, the sooner I can use them in my spring/summer decorating. I love the soft muted colors of the runner at the top of the picture. It is a Fig Tree pattern called […]
I had my tiny little table topper quilted, and it came out so cute! It is the perfect size for a candle or vase of flowers. Still need to do the binding, but at least I have the fabric and know where to find it. I needed more fabric for my Sweet Escape blocks, and […]
I am so happy with this finish! Putting the blocks together was a project and a half, and I admit to getting bogged down when it came to sewing them together. The blocks have been on my design wall for weeks and weeks. The pattern is Signs of String by Clark Street Quilts and the […]
I received my Stars and Baskets quilt back from the quilter, and I am so pleased with it. I decided to go with a feathers quilting design, as suggested by a couple of you (thanks Sharon), and am thrilled with the choice. I felt that quilting design was in keeping with the "era" the quilt […]
Remember my Stars and Baskets Quilt? I had not gotten around to having it quilted, and when I decided that it would be next in the queue, I had second thoughts about its size. Without borders it was coverlet size, about 76" square. I really wanted something that would cover the entire top of the […]
February 12 was the anniversary of my very first blog post. A kind reader, Pam, pointed it out to me and I thought at first that she must be wrong. No, it could not be possible that I have been blogging for that long. Maybe ten years, but certainly not….And then I checked, and sure […]
